Ninja Theory shared a surprise announcement at today’s Xbox Showcase, revealing a new Hellblade game called Senua. Though Hellblade 2 was a beloved game that eventually also released on PlayStation 5, despite being published by Xbox Game Studios, there was no indication that a sequel or standalone game like Senua was in the works. Interestingly, the series has changed naming conventions across its three installments, with the first game being Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, the second being Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and now Hellblade 3 being just called Senua.
There’s Something Weird About the Hellblade 2 Physical Release
Recent reports point out something weird about the upcoming physical release of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, which still does not have an exact date.
Hellblade 3 is Officially Launching on All Consoles in 2027
Similar to how Hellblade 2 launched on PlayStation 5 after being an Xbox-exclusive at first, Senua is releasing on Xbox, PC, and PlayStation simultaneously. While it’s the third installment in the series, it’s not exactly Hellblade 3, as it was conceived as a standalone title that would be a great starting point for newcomers or for veterans to return. The official website confirms that this is not a direct sequel to Hellblade 2, and previous knowledge or playthroughs of the first and second games in the series are not needed to play and enjoy Senua when it launches in 2027.
